Benefits of technology

"The invention is a cast net with a flexible cuff that can be easily removed from the thrower's hand in case of an emergency. This feature adds both comfort and safety to the process of casting a net."

Problems solved by technology

In throwing the cast net if a large fish is entrapped serious problems can occur for the thrower.
In this situation it is impossible for the throwers to disengage the throw line and hence the cast net.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] Referring to FIG. 1 it can be seen that a cast net 2 is a circular net which is meant to be thrown by a thrower 4. The throwing of a cast net takes a certain degree of skill as it is necessary to impart a circular motion to the net in order to make the net open up. The ability of a cast net to catch fish is directly proportional to the amount the cast net opens. If the cast net does not open, few if any fish will be entrapped and if any fish are entrapped there is a high probability that the entrapped fish will escape as the cast net settles in the water.

[0015] As a result of leg, waist, shoulder and hand action, on the part of the thrower, a cast net 2 can be made to open in a circular pattern as is shown in FIG. 1. Once cast net 2 touches the surface of water 6 the opening of cast net 2 is stopped and the pattern of the net is defined.

[0016] In order to better understand the subject invention, the parts and function of a cast net must be understood. Referring to FIG. 2 it...

Abstract

A cast net having a circular net portion the circumference of which is defined by a lead line. The cast net having a throw line one end of which is attached to the center of the net portion. The other end of the throw line comprises a flexible cuff which is adapted to be slipped over a human hand and engages a human wrist. The flexible cuff allows the throw line to disengage the human wrist by slipping over the hand. This disengagement can be effected simply and quickly in an emergency situation. The flexible cuff further adds a degree of comfort to the throwing process as it does not bind the wrist of the user.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention is concerned with cast nets. Cast nets are portable circular nets which are hand thrown. Cast nets are an ancient invention and have been used for thousands of years. The first cast nets were hand woven circular nets the outer edges of which were weighted with stones. A cast net generally comprises a circular net portion the outer periphery of which is weighted. The outer periphery is usually defined by a line on which the weights are strung. This outer line is called a lead line, as on all modern nets the weights are formed from lead and these lead weights are strung on a line which is attached to the circumference of the circular net. [0002] On modern nets the center of the nets comprise a thimble through which are passed a plurality of brail lines. One end of each brail line is attached to the lead line the other end passes through the thimble and is attached to a throw line. The other end of the throw line is attached to the thro...
